History of Westside Elementary School

In the Fall of 1966 Westside was built as a community school to meet the needs of the growing population on the west side of Daytona Beach. The first phase of construction had eight classrooms, an administrative suite and a library. The new school pioneered the use of central air conditioning throughout an entire school. Eight more classrooms, a cafeteria and new library were built in 1968. The old library was converted into the art and music rooms. In 1970 another ten classrooms and a new administrative wing were built. Westside was one of the first schools in Volusia county to have a RIF (Reading is Fundamental) program.
